Edit Menu
The Edit menu allows you to copy and paste text in the terminal window
and to make changes to your connection settings.
Copy
In the terminal window the Copy option can be used to copy
selected text to the Windows clipboard. The keyboard shortcut for the copy
option is Ctrl+Insert in the terminal window.
In the file transfer window the Copy option can be used to create
a temporary copy of the selected file(s) in the file transfer window. This
resembles using the Windows clipboard: You can copy files to a temporary
storage and paste them later into another location. The keyboard shortcut
for copy is Ctrl+C in the file transfer window.
Paste
In the terminal window the Paste option can be used to attach
previously copied text from Windows clipboard into the current cursor
position. The keyboard shortcut for paste is Shift+Insert in the
terminal window.
In the file transfer window Paste option can be used to add
previously copied files or folders into a new location. This resembles
using the Windows clipboard: You can copy files to a temporary storage
and paste them later into another location. You can do a paste operation
also by pressing Ctrl+V on the keyboard in the file transfer window.
The file names of the pasted files and folders do not change during the
operation. Therefore it is not possible to paste files or folders
several times into one location.
Paste Selection
The Paste Selection option is only available in the terminal window.
Select Paste Selection to paste text without first copying
anything to the clipboard. The Paste Selection operation copies whatever
is currently selected in the terminal window to the present cursor
position. If no text is selected, Paste Selection pastes a single
character in the current cursor position.
This function is almost like having two different clipboards available
at the same time. The Paste Selection option is especially useful for
quickly copying text from the output of previous commands.
Select All
Choose the Select All option to select all the text in the
current terminal window and the scrollback buffer, or all the files and
folders in the current directory in the file transfer window.
Note that in the terminal window, the selection can span quite a few lines
backwards from what is currently visible. If you want to select only what is
currently displayed on screen, use the Select Screen menu option
instead.
When used in the terminal window, this operation makes it fast and easy
for example to save long command output strings or to create a temporary
log of what is displayed on the screen.
For file transfer, this enables you to operate on the whole contents of
a directory at one time. This can be especially useful when downloading,
copying, or deleting files.
The keyboard shortcut for Select All is Ctrl+A in the
file transfer window only.
Select Screen
The Select Screen option is available only in the terminal window.
Choose the Select Screen option to select all the text that is
currently visible in the terminal window. Note that unlike the Select All
option, Select Screen does not capture the scrollback buffer. This operation can
be especially useful for screen captures and quick snapshots of the command
output.
Select None
The Select None option is available only in the terminal window.
Choose the Select None option to cancel any previous selection. This
operation immediately clears the selection in the terminal window.
Find
The Find option is available only in the terminal window.
Choosing the Find option allows you to search for text within
the scrollback buffer. For more information on searching, see Section
Find.
Settings
Select the Settings option to open the Settings dialog.
Settings can be used to control both the global settings and the profile
settings for each particular remote host computer. For more information
on the Settings dialog, see Section Configuration.
